Its official, I’m giving up McDonald’s. I just can’t take it anymore. Before someone says something, I am sure I will eat there again one day, especially if someone else is picking’ up the bill, but my days of making’ trips to go pick up a fabulous fucking double quarter with cheese are over. No more! I just refuse.

So here is what happened. I hadn’t stepped foot into a McDonald’s in a good four months until the other day me and a few of my friends go to that McDonald’s/Chevron bullshit they got down the street from WWU. I order my typical McDonald meal…one DoubleQ uarter Pounder w/cheese, Supersized, and with a Hi-C orange (I am just begging for a heart attack). I get my food and politely ask the manager guy for some sweet n sour sauce His reply “I will have to charge you $0.10”. Jokingly, I ask “Do you really have to charge me?”, to which he replies “Yes!”. I just can’t believe it. I just dropped damn near $7 for some food and this guy is seriously trying to get an extra $0.10 out of me for some sauce for my French fries. How fucking ridiculous is that?

Now I probably shouldn’t be so mad. I remember a few years ago when they started charging extra for sauce when you didn’t order nuggets. However, at that time it was only one McDonald’s and the prices were significantly cheaper than they are now. That same meal back then would have been something like $4. That’s a big damn difference. Not to mention back then there wasn’t any decent alternatives. Nowadays though, it’s extremely expensive (I can get some Teriyaki for the same price) and Jack N’ the Box has that damn Buttermilk sauce, which is so damn good, that they give away by the handful.

So, that’s my story, and I am giving up on McDonald’s. I refuse to pay the extra $0.10. I just refuse. I just wonder what genius in their marketing/pricing department thought of charging for sauce. They just lost one $7 customer over $0.10. Definitely not the best business strategy I have seen in my short lifetime. All this writing has got me a little hungry though, so it looks like it’s time to make a Jack N’ the Box run.
